Antisemitic != Anti Zionist

happyhippo,

I don’t. I love Pixels and like many of their cloud services, although I’m pissed at them for killing some of them (the usual list, you know: Inbox, greader, play music).

And although I’m a big advocate for FOSS, I can’t see myself giving up the camera prowess by switching to something like Graphene, for example.

But I’m well aware that I’m sharing plenty of data with them (some of which I find useful, like location history allowing me to go back in time), and that they can disable my account anytime. That’s why I’ve started doing regular Takeouts of data, and backing them up on a separate hosting provider. My Google Drive holds ALL my documents and files, so on top of keeping a local copy on my drive, I also incrementally backup the entire folder on a separate host provider everyday.

My 16GB XPS running Linux almost fills up entirely when running several docker containers, IDEA, Firefox, Teams, Postman and a few other, smaller apps, but it fits still, and I can work with it (tho I can’t wait to get my 32GB framework laptop)

Now gimme a 8GB MBP and I’ll show you that I wouldn’t get shit done on that configuration. And at 1600 it’s just crazy.

happyhippo,

I don’t wanna repeat myself, but: 7840u for the next few years, then I hope RISC V will be mature enough to kick some ass (and that framework releases a board for it).

That’s all I dream of.

X Æ A-12

happyhippo,

Anyone said framework 13"?

(Mines shipping in a couple of weeks)

happyhippo,

Linux is a thing, you know?

Embrace the freedom it gives

happyhippo,

They need to have certain margins to survive. These first years are crucial, if they gain enough market share I’m sure they’ll stick around and will be able to apply better prices.

Right now I know that I’m overpaying, but part of that extra money I’m more than happy to give it to send a message to the entire industry: consumers WANT right to repair, upgrade and fully own the electronics they pay for. And our planet needs this as well.

happyhippo,

I’m definitely expecting they do once RISC-V is mature enough (something I can’t wait to happen!)

happyhippo,

Well that’s funny, I’m typing this from the newly installed Connect app, since on Liftoff I couldn’t find an easy way to block an entire community.

Yeah, I changed the app I use just to finally get rid of Star Trek stuff from my feed.

happyhippo,

Huh?

return number % 2 == 0

That’s the only sane solution.

happyhippo,

Starting 2024.

Let’s see in a couple of months. I’m on Apple France and the magic mouse is for sale (85 frigging Euros, are you kidding me?). With lightning.

happyhippo,

So exciting!

happyhippo,

Depends on context, IMO did/mm/yyyy is the most natural when writing some text, but partial ISO yyyy-mm-dd is ideal for when naming files and directories, makes lexicographical ordering follow chronological order.

happyhippo,

Have you tried with √0,86?

happyhippo,

Rankine?

Science says Kelvin.

happyhippo,

Folks, get regular Google Takeouts (you can schedule them) and back them up using something like Vorta + borgbase.com

happyhippo,

Probably if you Google it or search on the Vorta website.

The short version, after some research, is that Borg is better suited for Linux users as it involves ssh key based authentication to the backup server hosted on borgbase.com.

Whereas restic is maybe simpler to setup if you’re on Windows.

The good news is that, whichever “protocol” you use, borgase.com provides cheap cloud storage supporting both, for as little as 24€/year for 250 GB. It’s the plan I have and it fits comfortably my ~130GB of Google Photos + all the other Gapps exports (~10GB gmail + 15GB gdocs being the biggest offenders after photos).

You can read a lot about this by just Googling Borg vs restic.

Both Borg and restic are just the backend apps, you’ll want a frontend as well, be it a CLI or a separate GUI application. Since I use Borg on Linux I paired it with Vorta, simple GUI and has scheduled backups and alerts you if they haven’t run in a while, plus you can mount your backups to local paths to inspect their contents and extract data selectively.

Dunno if the same is possible with restic, but there are also GUIs for that, for sure.

Enjoy!

happyhippo,

Not that I’m aware of, I’m doing the Takeout part by myself.

You can however request the Takeout to be recurring, e.g. once every N months. Or you can just request a one time takeout.

I did the latter just to know how much space it takes, but I’m going for the recurring ones from now on. Google will send you a mail once the Takeout archive(s) is/are ready for download.

Hocus pocus

happyhippo,

Don’t worry, yours is larger!

Cheers from Italy

happyhippo,

Berlusconi is gone (ahem finally ahem)

happyhippo,

My hopes for RISC V are higher than I like to admit.

I really hope it goes mainstream and gives us ARM benefits with the open nature awesomeness

happyhippo,

We need a clone for that site, maybe find a way to torrent all those apks. Right now that’s a single point of failure, and it’s not like they OWN that content, right?

happyhippo,

Reminds me of my first desktop PC.

Intel Pentium II 266Mhz, 64MB of RAM, 2.99GB HDD.

Of course a 3.5" floppy drive was also included, and a CD-R Reader.

I had to purchase a 33.6k modem separately, tho.

happyhippo,

For me it was StarCraft / Broodwar, Warcraft (when it still was a RTS) AOE / AOE2, and Caesar III.

happyhippo,

Nope. What was it for?

happyhippo,

Get a Pixel.

It just works

For real tho…

happyhippo,

That’s genocide at this point, and Israel is a Nazi state.

There, I said it.

Mentour Pilot

Not sure it fits the niche definition, maybe not by subs count, but by topic I’d say it does.

happyhippo,

Italians and pasta!

[Question] Which shell prompt do you use and why?

Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without...

happyhippo,

I tried oh-my-bash with some fancy theme, but went back to plain old bash from my distro since suggestions for autocomplete had suddenly started to lag. Went back to default and it’s as quick as ever to suggest.

I’m not willing to trade efficiency for bells and whistles

happyhippo,

13$ to produce including all the R&D behind it?

I’m not a fan of big pharma, quite the contrary, but I’d be curious to know where this number comes from…

happyhippo,

So let us know how it went on Thursday, mate.

Otherwise, it’s been nice knowing you 👍🏻

What do you think of framework and their methods? (frame.work)

We are not sustainableAnd neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on...

happyhippo,

Probably not native. In Italian we also say “autonomia” to indicate battery life or distance you can still cover with the fuel in your tank.

happyhippo,

Most best selling cars

in the US 😒

happyhippo,

Not bad to be relegated to step-mom roles.

There’s a lot of washing machines to get stuck into.

happyhippo,

Technically, nowhere it says she woke OP up.

She just remembered how important this was to OP to the point of either waking OP up and let take a pic, or take a pic on her own.

We will never know…

Blame the dealer, not the car.

The Giulia is a very reliable car, actually

happyhippo,

Crap folks, it didn’t work. Gotta think of something more subtle

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

happyhippo,

Your single command is just an “&&” away

happyhippo,

I’m not even sure full screen tiling can be called tiling at all.

I mean, I’m never gonna tile my kitchen floor with one GIANT tile.

Technically that’s still tiling, but it completely misses the point lol

happyhippo,

MacOS, or the joy of paying extra for shit that should be included OOTB, especially in an OS that every user profusely advertises as “just works”, “intuitive”, etc

BS

happyhippo,

I don’t even sort them in folders anymore, just make sure I add tags to them when saving, then use search

happyhippo,

Maybe user was referring to an Imperial order of magnitude 🤣
